Method Detail

setSequenceFileOutputKeyClass

public static void setSequenceFileOutputKeyClass(JobConf conf,
                                                 Class<?> theClass)

Set the key class for the SequenceFile

This allows the user to specify the key class to be different from the actual class (BytesWritable) used for writing

Parameters:

conf - the JobConf to modify

theClass - the SequenceFile output key class.

setSequenceFileOutputValueClass

public static void setSequenceFileOutputValueClass(JobConf conf,
                                                   Class<?> theClass)

Set the value class for the SequenceFile

This allows the user to specify the value class to be different from the actual class (BytesWritable) used for writing

Parameters:

conf - the JobConf to modify

theClass - the SequenceFile output key class.

getSequenceFileOutputKeyClass

public static Class<? extends WritableComparable> getSequenceFileOutputKeyClass(JobConf conf)

Get the key class for the SequenceFile

Returns:

the key class of the SequenceFile

getSequenceFileOutputValueClass

public static Class<? extends Writable> getSequenceFileOutputValueClass(JobConf conf)

Get the value class for the SequenceFile

Returns:

the value class of the SequenceFile

getRecordWriter

public RecordWriter<BytesWritable,BytesWritable> getRecordWriter(FileSystem ignored,
                                                                 JobConf job,
                                                                 String name,
                                                                 Progressable progress)
                                                          throws IOException

Description copied from interface: OutputFormat

Get the RecordWriter for the given job.

Specified by:

getRecordWriter in interface OutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>

Overrides:

getRecordWriter in class SequenceFileOutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>

job - configuration for the job whose output is being written.

name - the unique name for this part of the output.

progress - mechanism for reporting progress while writing to file.

Returns:

a RecordWriter to write the output for the job.

Throws:

IOException

checkOutputSpecs

public void checkOutputSpecs(FileSystem ignored,
                             JobConf job)
                      throws IOException

Description copied from interface: OutputFormat

Check for validity of the output-specification for the job.

This is to validate the output specification for the job when it is a job is submitted. Typically checks that it does not already exist, throwing an exception when it already exists, so that output is not overwritten.

Specified by:

checkOutputSpecs in interface OutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>

Overrides:

checkOutputSpecs in class FileOutputFormat<BytesWritable,BytesWritable>

job - job configuration.

Throws:

IOException - when output should not be attempted
